Peregrine Wines' Cellar Door/Tasting Room is set in the beautiful Central Otago wine region of New Zealand.

Peregrine Wines lived up to its slogan, “wine with attitude” right from our first sight of the cellar door/tasting room. Housed in an extremely modern building sunken into the beautiful Central Otago landscape, this is definitely a winery with personality. Leading down from the beautiful mountainous scenery of the Gibbston Valley, a long gravel path gives way to a cement ramp that takes you down to the cellar door/tasting room door. Inside, the industrial feel of concrete and glass walls is balanced by the hundreds of oak wine barrels lying in the cellar facing the bar.

We tasted the:

2005 Riesling – Not as fruity as we’d hoped.

2006 Rastaburn Riesling, $23NZD – Fruitier than the other Riesling, very light, not stellar.
